First Assignment!

Okay, I'm not too sure about this whole blog thing... but here goes what I believe to be the first assignment.

There's a difference between writing papers for school, and writing Instant Messages, emails, and text messages. Emailing and Text messages are kind of like codes... Say your in class and your phone is receiving a text message from your mother saying "Sry, but ur sis was pickd up frm school w/ stmchflu, can u watch 2nite so i can go 2 bak2school nite?"... People shorten it to get to the point and save them time. Text messaging is nice for emergencies if someone isn't answering phone. It could be real writing in some cases, but for formal papers or documents text messaging is unprofessional, and ignorant.

Papers for school should be written in full words and sentences, with the correct grammar, and punctuation. Who in the right mind would want to write a five page paper in text form??Ha.Ha. Ha. Not me, but for all of you who would want to... Good luck with that!

Emailing is much easier because your telling a story on something that happened in your life. You can ask questions through email, and make plans. Writing a 500 word email wouldnt be hard because its filled with questions, answers, and statements. Writing a 500 word homework assignment is stressful, and you never know where to begin. If you have a 3 page paper that is on your reaction to how your group worked....UM what else am i supposed to tell you besides the fact that Jack was Lazy, Britt was a big contribution, Mike was sleeping, and Connie was doing all the reading? It makes it much more difficult to write something that is meaningless to the student.
